One of the most interesting offices to be filled is that of speaker of the house xrf representatives. The house is to select a successor to Speaker J.. B. Atkinson, who did not offer for re-election to the house from Spar-'; tanbure. The two names most prom-1 inently mentioned for this office are those of Thomas S. iMcMillian, of Barnwell. Both will likely be nominated, and both, it is expected will receive* strong votes. Two circuit judges are to be elected by the joint assembly, successors to the late judge Edward Mclver of |1 Cheraw and the late Judge Ernest i' Moore of Lancaster both of whom 1 have died this year. A superintendent of the penitentiary is to be elected the term of offi-l! ce expiring with 1923. Col A. K. San i ders the present superintendent, will 1 ..... ... , i be a candidate tor re-ejection, ana his efficient administration will probably result in his re-election, it is stated. At the same time he has a- ' bout a half dozen opponents already ' announced. SELECT SEED CORN IN FIELD , ( Qemstro College,?The 'yield' of j corn can be increased very mater- ^ ially and very cheaply by the. use of ( better seed, and better seed may bo ( secured through tho selection in the ( ^ield. Seed corn that will produce ^ the largest crop of good oom is near ( ly always the cheapest seed to use. ^ It is not only possible to increase the yeild of corn but it is also po^|i- ' ble to very materially improve "the quartity and uniformity of the seed This latter^ point is of great value in case we wish to sell any part of the crop, as corn of good quality and uniformity will bring much better prices on the market than will mixed and uneven lots of corn. It is best to make our selection of se?2d in the field where we can see not only the size of ear but the stalk : on which it grew and the number of ears ner stalk, says Prof C. P. Black i well. Agronomist, in making the fol- 1 lowing sugg 6tions. Seed corn should be selected in the field from stalks that grow un- < der normal conditions that are free from disease, preferably from stalk having two good ears to the stalk. If selection is made in the crib we are likely-v to select ears that are; grown under unusal conditions and] probably with only one ear to the j stalk. We should also select ears1 that are well protected from insccts I by a long shuck which covers the | Seed corn when gathered should i be hung in a dry airy place It should not be allowed to freeze until thoroughly dry. After it is well cured it should be stored in a dry place where it will remain secure from mice, rats, birds and insects. Well-cured seed corn will produce a much "better yield than corn not properly cured. In the spring of 1921 seven farmers in a Georgia county were in-; duced by the county extension agent to make a trial cooperative ship-! ment of 20 pounds of surplus cream. In June 1922, fourteen months later, according to a report made to the United States Department of! Agriculture, this new farm industry j had grown to the extent of 10,000 pounds shipped from that country during the month. IN SOUTH CAROLINA (By I). H. Magill, Richmond, Va.)

Spartanburg, Oct. 28.?Rufus Thompson, twenty-six years of age, employe in Inman Mills and a resident of that community, was instantly killed early tonight on the Appalachian Highway, two miles west of Spartanburg, when he was struck by a car in which J. 0. Odom and J. V. Ashmore, of Campobello, were riding. Both Odoms and Ashmore are in the county, jail, charged with manslaughter. Thompson had gotten out of his lar and was stooping behind it adjusting the rear light when the other :ar crashed into him. The car rebounded, it is said, and its occupants drove on, eyewitnesses stated, without stopping to inquire as to the damage done. They were arrested here an hour later and the police say they were under the influence of liquor. Thompson, who was killed, is survived by a widow and three children. With him in the car when the fatal accident occurred were several :ompanions. His death will be investigated by the coroner tomorrow. rOUNG BOY RESCUED NATURE HEALER Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 21.?"I ain't so hungry, but I ain't full yet" said Owen vPardue 9 years old, when h& had consumed a square meal late yesterday for the first time in weeks after having been fed on nuts, milk and persimmons while penned up stark naked on the farm of a "na ture healer," of this city. ' Afflicted with boils and ulcers. Owen was sent to the sanitarium" of Merlin Valleau, an aged eccentric who is convinced that clothes and meat diet are the cause of most ailments and illness. Though nine years old, the boy is undersized and undernourished. Ha was rescued yesterday by county health officers as he sat in an improvised pen raade of tin and gunny sacks. The sacks it was alleged, were to keep the yellow jackets from stinging him on his emaciated body covered with running sores. The boy's parents live at Ashland City, Tenn. OPKRA HOUSK.

Rodolph Valentino Admission 15 & 35c | FALL GARDEN NOTES. (By Mrs. Alma C. Gibbons) All gardeners should realize that a top dressing of nitrate of soda applied to cabbage, beets, carrots and I turnips arising: from the August planting will double the size of these and hasten the time of maturity, making them much more crisp and better. Cabbage, collards and other vegetables attacked by cabbage worms and chewing insects should be dust-j led with Calcium Arsenate or dusted j | with air slaked lime and arsenate of | |lead 10 to 1. For the annihilation of | the sucking insects and harlequin ( jbugs spray with lime-sulphur or kerjpsene emulsion. Transplant lettuce plants 8 inches in the row, thin beets and turnips j to 6 inches in the row, parsnip and carrots to 3 inches in the drill. Keep the fall Irish potato crop | free from weeds and give them a heavy earth mulch after each rain| to insure a good crop. Plant spinach at intervals of 4 j weeks. When plants are 3 inches; high, thin to 4 inches apart in drill, j When beginning to use them take out every other plant at first. Celery I may be set now where they are to grow. Transplant them in rich land, fertilize heavily and give frequent! | cultivation. j The sowing of turnips may still I continue, the white globe, yellow! 'aberdeen, flat dutch, purple top and [corn horn for winter use. Continue ,fo sow onion seed and plant sets unjtil October 20th. The Spanish Brown iand Australian Brown are the best [keepers. Do not forget to plant i sweet peas, pansies, and transplant jyour bulbs now, for spring beauty. jHave You Planted Green Feed For Your Chickens? Green feeds are a very necessary .part of the hen's ration and should,' be supplied to her when confined in1 small yards and during the winter tfter the frost has killed the vegeta'tion. Free range or large yards kept jin grass, alfalfa or clover will fur,|5iish ideal green feed. Where smaller |;yards are used, they should be divided, if possible, into two parts and used alternately, planting the vacant yard several times with a quick/jrowing green crop, such as rape, !j>ats, wheat, rye or barley. In this jway, green feed is supplied and itj I helps to keep the ground clean and! j sweet. Other green feeds that can I ^e fed, especially in winter are| , sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, chopped alfalfa, clover hay, cabbage, and! vnontyal >ioofQ f!nVkhno?A fan Via ffld hv I jfcuspending them by means of a cord jiiung up in the poultry house and the birds receive some exercise while eating. The beets are usuaily split jand stuck on a nail on the side wall I of the poultry house. When oats are ^sed for sprouting, they should be of a good grade. Soak them over | night in warm water and spread out j one-half to 1 inch thick on trays that have perforated bottoms. Water .the oats thoroughly each day and| I turn the trays around, so as . to bring 'each side to the light, in order to encourage an even growth. Keep the |tray in a temperately heated place, and stir the oats each day until the .sprouts begin to form. Sprouted oats i are fed when the sprouts are from 2 to 4 inches high. The sod is removed, ! broken into chunks, and fed in , troughs or on clean litter. From 1 to 2 square inches for each hen should ^be fed at noon. I Why Green and Succulent Feeds Are Necessary. j 1. Fowls need succulence to keep them in condition and to keep the j digestive tracts in working order. j 2. it acts as a tonic ana stimulates the appetite. 3. It furnishes a large amount of | .water and thus adds bulk to the ra,tion. : j 4. It is undoubtedly one of the (factors causing egg production, j 5. It improves the fertility and hatching quality of the egg, and the vitality of the chick. ji i ESTATE OF MRS. N. G AGNEW, DECEASED. Notice of Settlement and Application For Final Discharge.
